About Gail

Clay as Canvas. Blurring the lines between art and craft. Selected member of The Craft Potters Association. 

Drawings from my sketchbooks filled with observations of life, friends, family, art museums and galleries. Themes; the refugees, masks, zoom meetings, musicians, people on their phones, at the cafe and at the beach.

I create on a storytelling ceramics using clay and porcelain as my canvas.

The porcelain and stoneware clays are painted onto with coloured slips or etched into and the lines filled with underglaze colours, then high fired under a transparent glaze in an electric kiln.

'This is primitive and sophisticated all at the same time' an insightful comment on my Instagram account.
